On Contrary to what those trying my First 2 brews have noted, I have found myself after a few bottles not totally pleased with how 'Watery' my brews turned out. Not that they tasted bad at all, just that it feels too watered down to me. So, here I am, calling on those more experienced than I, what can be done in future brews to help counter this 'problem'? I might assume using less water, but I have hope that there are other tricks someone has to improve this.
Just for Noting, the 2 Brews in Question:
Extract Kit - Porter - Measured about 5 1/4th Gallons - 2 weeks in Primary Glass Carboy - 2 weeks Bottled. Note: Added Vanilla beans during the 2nd week in Carboy, along with a bit of the Vanilla vodka I let them soak in.
Next:
Extract Kit - American Wheat - Measured just about 5 1/2 gallons - 2 weeks in Primary Glass Carboy - 2 weeks Bottled. Note: Added Raspberry Extract (4 oz.) when Racking to Bottles.
Hope this helps!
